Chapter 186
Chapter 187 Twin Serpents from the Deep
The underground space was too tight to fight in. Alwyn unleashed Stellar Tempest. A massive blast tore the ground apart.
Joanna controlled the Crimson Throne and flew up through the huge hole left by the explosion.
Nighthowl, Alwyn, and Lucien followed her out.
From the dark opening below, a giant white serpent slithered into view.
Its presence was cold and dangerous.
David, who had tried to escape, did not escape his fate.
He felt something surge inside his blood. His body stiffened. He was forced to open his mouth. A black serpent crawled out of him. David stared in horror. He felt his life draining away, second by second. His body fell to the ground, twitching.
When the serpent fully left his body, David was already dead.
Inside the grand hall, Kayden watched everything happen.
He broke down and cried.
Kayden knew it now. His parents were truly gone.
They did not die by Joanna’s hand. They died because of Bloodmoon.
But Kayden did not dare to hate Bloodmoon. He was right there, surrounded by them. If he showed hatred, he might be killed next. So instead, he hated someone far away-Joanna. He hated her for not obeying him. For refusing to be his girlfriend. For resisting him instead of letting him control her. In his twisted mind, it was her fault that his family was destroyed.
So, he hated Joanna.
Back in the academy, all the professors stood up at once.
“This isn’t right! What is that thing? This was never part of the plan p>
“It’s a godbound creature. Someone used direct bloodline links to perform a godbound ritual.

“Hurry! Open teleport portals. Evacuate all students now p>
Chaos spread through the room.
But Saul spoke coldly, his voice sharp. “If our students can’t even handle a mere godbound creature, how will they ever fight real gods and demons in the future? Keep watching. No matter how many students fall, their sacrifice will pave the road for those who reach the end p>
Inside Vicehaven.
The elites who couldn’t find criminals or earn points heard the explosions. They rushed toward the sound, hoping to get lucky.
But as they got closer, a terrifying pressure filled the air.
A gigantic monster lifted its head from behind a skyscraper. With one bite, it crushed the building. An SSS-rank elite was swallowed whole.
Strangely, the elite was not killed. Inside the serpent’s mouth, a glowing portal appeared. In the next instant, the elite was teleported away.
Inside Bloodmoon’s grand hall, a magic circle flashed with light.
The SSS-rank elite appeared inside it. He looked confused. Before he could move, energy the twin serpents locked him in place.
“Wait-who are you? What are you doing p>
“Hahahaha! The dessert is here. Everyone, enjoy it p>
As the circle spun faster, colors burst from the elite’s body.
Purple, red, orange, and blue.
They represented endurance, strength, agility, and mind.

The attributes split apart and flowed into Lucas, Bruce, Cedric, and Neil.
If elites were killed, they would be sent back to school.

But if they were captured and their attributes being harvest, the captors would grow stronger, and the victim would grow weaker.
That was Viola’s real plan.

Lucas and the others were shaken by it. Deep down, they even felt excited.
If they captured Joanna and drained her power, she would become weak. Then, she would finally obey.
Back in Vicehaven, the battle was still going.
“This isn’t right,” someone said. “This isn’t a normal boss. If David had this kind of power, he wouldn’t have feared Mr. Lopez p>
Joanna’s expression turned cold.
One word flashed through her mind.
Bloodmoon.
Joanna had carefully studied the group after Louise informed her that Bloodmoon had rescued Lucas and the others. One of their abilities was godbound.
By borrowing a fragment of divine power, they could summon terrifying creatures into the world.
Worst of all, godbound rituals could be controlled from far away. All they needed was a bloodline link.
David and Irene’s bloodline heir was-Kayden.
And Kayden had been taken by Bloodmoon.
So from the start, their real target had been Kayden. Taking Lucas and the others was just a bonus.
But understanding the truth did not solve the problem in front of her.
The two giant serpents kept growing. They became larger. Stronger.
They were hundreds of times more powerful than the boss Joanna had faced in the Star Domain Battle.
Was this the power of gods?
Just a tiny borrowed fragment was enough to crush SSS-rank elites.
Their massive bodies made human attacks almost useless. All damage barely scratched the

surface.
It was like a mosquito learning how to ignore armor but still unable to pierce a human heart.
Luckily, Joanna had prepared for this.
Symbiotic Fusion.
She had tested this ability before. But this was the first time she was going to use it against a real
enemy.
